The penguins that jumped into the pool at the San Francisco zoo, have some strange connections to George Orwell’s Animal Farm. First of all, these six penguins somehow convinced the other 46 penguins to all jump into the pool and swim nonstop for hours on end. The pigs in the story have convinced the other animals that they are the smartest of all, and that they will make the right decisions for all the other animals. Well, that’s a sheer load of baloney.

Then, going back to what Tollini said; “Some of them haven’t swum this much in five years.” The animals at Animal Farm are working twice as much as they used to, just to show that they could achieve as much as Jones was ever able to. This is also hogwash, in my opinion, but that’s not very important at the moment. What’s important is that these penguins are going through similar things that happened in Animal Farm.
